Now yet another college player in NEOH has earned medalist honors — but in her very first 54-hole college tournament!

University of Akron Freshman Jacinta Pikunas of Youngstown earned a win with a record-breaking 54-hole performance of 210 (-6) to lead the Zips women’s golf team to a third place finish at the Ball State Cardinal Classic on Tuesday.

Pikunas broke three program records in the process. Pikunus now owns the lowest 18-hole score (66, -6), lowest 36-hole total (138, -6), and the lowest 54-hole total (210, -6) records in program history.
